SGA Anticipates Busy Schedule
The SGA met Wednesday,
November 5, at six o'clock, in
Hardy Alumni Hall. The meeting
was called to order by President
Ellen Bowen and the prayer was
given by Cathy Law.
The minutes of the previous
meeting were sent to the
executive board members
twenty-four hours prior to the
meeting and the minutes stood
as approved.
Mr. Stallings gave the

Three Concerts Coming
The Contemporary Chamber
Players will perform works of
indeterminate ensembles by
Marvin Lamb, William Duck
worth, Thomas Albert, Terry
Riley and Phillip Musser. The
works represented on this
program are highly ex
perimental in nature and are
part of a new “post ^ John
Cage" school of American art
music composition. This school
of American music has
developed since 1960. An ex
planatory lecture by the group's
director will preface the per
formance of each work.
Both concerts are open to the
public at no admission charge.
On Wednesday, November 19,
at 8:00 p.m., the Entertainment
Committee of Atlantic Christian
College presents “Fleetwood
Mac” and their special guests
“Jiva” at the new Wilson gym.
The current members of
“Fleetwood Mac” are Mick
Fleetwood, John & Christie
McVie, Lindsey Buckingham,
and Stevie Nicks. The former
three members have played
together since 1966. The latter
two arrived in fall 1974. Some of
the latest releases of “Fleetwood
Mac” include “Penguin,” “Bare
Trees,” “Heroes Are Hard to
Find,” and their latest release
entitled “Fleetwood Mac.”
These are but four of the nine
albums by the group. The
following songs: “Landslide,”
“War Ways,” and “Over My
Head” are off the current
album, which was released in
summer 75.
Fleetwood Mac’s special
guests “Jiva” play on the Dark
Horse label which is produced by
George Harrison. Their music is
typical of Fleetwood Mac’s
many-mooded sounds.
This coming Wednesday’s
concert has the basis for a really
fantastic evening and will be
remembered by all students who
attend.
Only 2,500 tickets will be sold
and students may purchase
tickets at the Student Center
from 11:00-2:00 Friday, Monday,
and Tuesday for $2.50 with LD.
cards. To the public, tickets are
$4.00 in advance, and $5.00 to

Two concerts will inaugurate
the 1975-76 American Arts
Festival at Atlantic Christian
College.
The first concert will feature
the East Carolina Contemporary
Jazz Ensemble, on Nov. 10, in
the choral room of Hackney
Music Building on the college
campus.
The second concert will be a
lecture-recital of “Steady State
Music,” presented by the
Atlantic Christian College
Contemporary Chamber
Players, on Nov. 13, at 8 p.m., in
the choral room of Hackney
Music Building. Conducting will
be Marvin Lamb.
The 1975-76 American Arts
Festival celebrates the “Ex
perimental Arts Tradition,”
present in this country from its
inception in 1776 to the present
day. It seems particularly fitting
that the program begins with
this country’s two most ex
perimental and uniquely
American forms of music,
“contemporary jazz,” and
“steady state music.”
The East Carolina Con
temporary Jazz Ensemble was
formed in 1972 by its current
director, Paul Tardiff. The
present quartet consists of Larry
Dowdy, bass and French horn;
Mike Carney, drums and
vibraphone; Oscar Smith, flutes
and saxophones; and Paul
Tardiff, keyboards.
Since its inception, the en
semble has appeared at UNC-
Chapel Hill, Duke University,
the Intercollegiate Jazz
Festival, the Frog and
Nightgown, the Summer in the
Parks Concerts (Greenville),
and the Duke Summer Fine Arts
Festival. In April 1975, the group
made its debut on UNC-TV
educational television.
The ensemble performs both
original compositions and works
of outstanding jazz artists as
Charlie Parker, Miles Davis,
John Coltrane, and Chick Corea.
The entire repertoire is com
posed and arranged by the
members of the group.
Fall Fun
Pi Gamma Mu is sponsoring
this year’s Fall Carnival. On
Tuesday, November 18, the
students will be treated to fun,
games, and hijinks. Several
organizations are sponsoring
booths and displays. The car
nival, held this time in Hardy
Alumni Hall, should prove fun-
filled for everyone.
Originally scheduled for the
time around Halloween, the
carnival has been moved back
on the calendar so as not to
conflict with other events,
mainly Homecoming. The weeks
between now and Thanksgiving
are filled with student-oriented
activities. Let no student
complain of nothing to do.
Poetry:^
A $1,500 grand prize will be
awarded in the current poetry
contest sponsored by World of
Poetry, a monthly newsletter for
poets.
Rules and official entry forms
are available by writing to:
World of Poetry, 801 Portola Dr.,

year of September I, 1975 lo
.August 31, 1976. These are
available to anyone by request to
an SGA member.
The committee reports were
next on the agenda. Mr Clayton
wished to thank the student body
for promoting a successful
Homecoming. There was much
more enthusiasm and response
this year than in previous years
and it was the student body that
made it successful. The pig
pickin' was great in attendance
andatmospliere, and so were the
other events during the day.
Thanks again to everyone who
helped make it a success.
The elections for Homecoming
were announced at the dance
and congratulations go out to our
new queen Patricia Williams.
Fleetwood Mac will present a
concert on November 19, in
Wilson gym at eight o'clock Mr.
Stallings commented that the
tickets were now on sale in
various surrounding towns, and
at local radio stations. The
response has been great and
people are standing in line to get
them. They are available to ACC
students at $2.50 with an 11), and
all other advance tickets are
$4.00. Tickets will be available at
tlie door, but the cost will Ix-
$3.(M). You may purchase tickets
at the Student Center between
the hours of 11:00 and 2:00,
Monday through Friday.
The subject of inadequate door
locks in Hackney and Caldwell
Halls was brought to attention
again by Mr. Sawyer, and a
resolution for action was
brought to a vote. The resolution
involved the Men and Women's
Inter-Dorm Councils and the
resolution was approved. You
will hear more alx)ut tliis action
later.
Mr. Mercer gave the report
that the first floor of Caldwell
has bolt door locks but that there
were none on the second and
third floors. The students need
protection in all the dorms and
the SGA is now in the process of
taking action for the students.
Ms. Jackie Parker raised the
question of why the seniors have
to purchase graduation robes
(hat the> will never ha\e an
(X’casion to use again It seems
ridiculous to purchase
something that you w ill not have
a future use for Previously, the
caps and gowns have cost the
student $20.tK). The possibility of
renting the gowns was brought
up and listed as an alternative to
purchasing them Another idea,
that of the SGA purchasing the
gowns and renting them to the
students is also being held in
consideration. The matter is
being looked into, and the results
will be stated at a later date.
Students! Where is our con
cern for our school and our
selves'’ We say that we do not
know what is going on con
cerning the students and we wail
that we were never told what
is going on, but when a student
lK)dy met'ting is schcxluled we
always seem to have something
else to do. The previous
meetings have been so poor in
attendance that it seemed a
waste of time to have scheduled
them. Student-s, when we have
the opportunity to express our
views, we need to take
advantage of it. So if you are
concerned about your school and
want your wishes to be known,
please attend the next student
lx)dy meeting.
There needs to be more
cohesion between the students
and the faculty, so the S(JA is
now proposing the idea of
writing letters to the faculty
members to find out what they
would like to see being done. In
these letters they would be in
formed of the SC'iA's projects
and goals,- as well as the
students’ views on various
matters.
If you are interested in the
SGA and its activities, please
feel free to attend the meetings
that are held in the Trustee
Room of Hardy Alumni on
Wednesday night-s at 6:00. Our
next meeting will be on
November 19.
Students, the SGA is working
for you and wants you to become
part of its activities, so come to
the next meeting and become
involved.
